Maybe something unusual, amusing or frightening happened amongst the crowd or outside the theatre that made the outing even more memorable. www.newzealandplayhouse.co.nz 8 Tragedy, Comedy, or History Where do they belong? Perhaps because Shakespeare wrote so many plays, there is an historical tradition of classifying them, using three broad labels to place them in categories that could restrict the ways in which we might think about them. Tragedies centre around an important central character with high status, who has a recognisable human flaw that leads to their own death as well as the deaths of others. Comedies generally centre around characters concerned with finding love. There is often mistaken identity or disguise involved and, while some lessons may be learned along the way, they will usually end with a coupling or happiness for the main characters. Histories are the group of plays based on real historical figures, usually Kings of England. Here is an alphabetical list of Shakespeare’s plays with the year they were written. Task Beside each play, write whether you think it is a Tragedy, Comedy or History play. Firstly, rely on your general knowledge and what the title suggests, then see if you can answer correctly using a brief description of the plot. Finally, check your answers against a recognised list. (You may find that some of Shakespeare’s plays defy categorisation and these plays are referred to as the ‘Problem plays!’) ______ All’s Well That Ends Well (1602) ______ Antony and Cleopatra (1606) ______ As You Like It (1599) ______ Comedy of Errors (1589) ______ Coriolanus (1607) ______ Cymbeline (1609) ______ Merry Wives of Windsor (1600) ______ Hamlet (1600) ______ Midsummer Night’s Dream (1595) ______ Henry IV, Part I (1597) ______ Much Ado about Nothing (1598) ______ Henry IV, Part II (1597) ______ Othello (1604) ______ Henry V (1598) ______ Pericles (1608) ______ Henry VI, Part I (1591) ______ Richard II (1595) ______ Henry VI, Part II (1590) ______ Richard III (1592) ______ Henry VI, Part III (1590) ______ Romeo and Juliet (1594) ______ Henry VIII (1612) ______ Taming of the Shrew (1593) ______ Julius Caesar (1599) ______ The Tempest (1611) ______ King John (1596) ______ Timon of Athens (1607) ______ King Lear (1605) ______ Titus Andronicus (1593) ______ Love’s Labour’s Lost (1594) ______ Troilus and Cressida (1601) ______ Macbeth (1605) ______ Twelfth Night (1599) ______ Measure for Measure (1604) ______ Two Gentlemen of Verona (1594) ______ Merchant of Venice (1596) ______ Winter’s Tale (1610) www.newzealandplayhouse.co.nz 9 Characters Virtues and Flaws Shakespeare’s Tragic heroes, or anti-heroes usually begin the play enjoying some form of success or status, from which they must fall.

John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Fry are featured in their finest shows, and viewers are invited to vote for their favourite on the BBC Entertainment website. John Cleese From Sunday 7 August from 18:00 Kicking off the proceedings, the legendary John Cleese stars in classic 70s sitcom Fawlty Towers. Cleese gives an iconically hysterical performance as Basil Fawlty, the much put-upon hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors and riff-raff, not to mention hapless waiter Manuel’s peculiar attachment to a certain rodent. Rowan Atkinson From Sunday 14 August at 18:00 The Blackadder series sees the inimitable Rowan Atkinson starring as four different incarnations of Edmund Blackadder. In The Black Adder he is Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh, haunted by his uncle Richard III who he accidentally killed. In Blackadder II, Lord Edmund swaggers back with a big head and a small beard in search of grace and favour from stark raving mad Queen Elizabeth I. In Blackadder the Third, Edmund has been reduced in status and is serving as butler to the Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie), and in Blackadder Goes Forth we find him doing everything he can to avoid a futile death in the trenches of the First World War.

  • 71469 Gates Cambridge Cover03
    Gates Cambridge Trust Gates Cambridge Scholars 2003 Gates Cambridge Trust Gates Cambridge Scholars 2003 Preface As the Gates Cambridge Scholarship program enters its third year, Melinda and I, and all those who work for the foundation in Seattle, are delighted with the rapid progress that has been made in establishing the program. There are now over 250 Gates Scholars – highly talented young men and women from all over the world – studying at Cambridge. We are encouraged that nearly a hundred scholars have successfully completed the course at Cambridge for which they were awarded a Gates Scholarship. My father, as the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a trustee of the Gates Cambridge Trust, has taken an active interest in this program. I know he looks forward to his visits to Cambridge, and particularly enjoys meeting and talking to the Gates Scholars. He has shared with me how impressed he is by the Gates Scholars’ enthusiasm and dedication, and by their willingness to put their higher education to work for the benefit of others. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is dedicated to improving people’s lives by sharing advances in health and learning with the global community. To that end, we need highly educated leaders, skilled in research and analysis, who will take a creative approach to defining and solving problems, so that we can address the injustices and inequities that abound in our world. Gates Cambridge Scholarships give young people an opportunity to develop and refine such skills. In Cambridge, Gates Scholars are able to work with distinguished faculty and other equally bright students from many different countries and cultures.

  • Anachronism and the Limits of Laughing at the Middle Ages
    You Had to Be There: Anachronism and the Limits of Laughing at the Middle Ages Louise D’Arcens English Literatures Program, University of Wollongong, Australia Abstract Comic medievalism is one of the most widespread but least examined forms of postmedieval response. Its combination of comic modality, modern sensibility, and historical vision captures what postmedieval audiences have deemed amusing about medieval society. But some instances have been less successful. ‘You Had to Be There,’ the phrase marking the failure of a comic attempt, and the relationship of that failure to the loss of immediacy, is realised in comic medievalism through the temporal fragility of laughter, historical mediation and temporal paradox. This essay explores some limit-points to the comic reception of the Middle Ages, focusing especially on its use of anachronism. The phrase ‘you had to be there,’ uttered when recounting, or perhaps failing in the recount of, a joke or comic anecdote, marks the vulnerability of humor to a specifically spatio- temporal failure. It brings to light the extent to which humor depends for its success on its audience being ‘present,’ a word that reveals ‘the inseparability of space and time’ that Mikhael Bakhtin has famously called the chronotope (Bakhtin, 1981, 84) and in so doing figures pastness as a form of distance that makes jokes potentially inaccessible to latecomers. If you weren’t there, the humor is lost to you, and any recount, despite striving to compensate for the loss of presence, can only reinforce it via further
